What can you make out of Kiss My Keto’s Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips granola? Cookies, for sure!

Did you get a chance to try our new granola flavors? If you have their Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips flavor, one of the ways you’ll be able to enjoy them is by using them as an ingredient in your cookie recipe. That’s what I did as soon as I got a hold of their granola.

You see, I’m such a big fan of baking, especially cookies. There’s an endless number of cookie flavors to try. It can be made with oatmeal, coconut flour, and even granola! The best thing about my granola cookies is that they’re specially made for those on a keto diet.

What Are Keto Granola Cookies Made Of?

There are two ingredients that you need from Kiss My Keto. The first one is their granola (Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips flavor) and the second one is their dark chocolate (Original flavor).

Here are the rest of the ingredients:

Butter – I would recommend using unsalted butter. You may soften the butter by leaving it on the kitchen counter for half an hour or heating it in the microwave.
Swerve – This is a popular keto-friendly sweetener and contains zero calories.
Egg – A large egg will add moisture to your cookie dough, as well as protein.
Vanilla extract – It adds a bit of flavor and sweetness to your cookies. For this recipe, you’ll need just one teaspoon.

Almond flour – Made from ground almonds, almond flour is rich in vitamin E and healthy fats.
Baking powder – If you don’t have baking powder, other substitutes include cream of tartar or plain yogurt.
Unsweetened coconut – Shredded coconut can be used in a wide variety of desserts, including cookies! It imparts a fresh and pleasant smell to your recipe.

One serving of keto granola cookies only contains only 1.3 grams of net carbs. You can have it as a regular snack or something to energize you before your workouts.

Tips for Making Keto Granola Cookies

If you want your cookies to be more filling, you can add chopped nuts such as almonds or pecan nuts.
Use grass-fed butter if you can. Grass-fed butter contains more nutrients than regular butter, which makes it great for your keto diet.

Placing the cookie dough in the refrigerator makes your cookies thicker and tougher.
Adding salt to your cookie recipe will also give it more flavor. Try Kosher salt or Pink Himalayan salt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of almond flour?

In my opinion, coconut flour is a great alternative. It’s low-carb, delicious, and fragrant. Just keep in mind that coconut flour is very absorbent and tends to soak up liquid. It also has a gritty texture! To counter its drying effect, I recommend using an extra egg or two.

How long will my cookie dough be good for?

Homemade cookie dough will usually last about 3-5 days in the fridge. Store the dough in a Ziploc bag or an airtight container.

What does ripening a cookie dough mean?

Ripening is basically chilling your cookie dough in the fridge before baking it. The longer you chill the dough, the more likely it absorbs the moisture from your eggs. It will also give your cookies a deeper brown color and improved flavor.

What toppings can I use?

There are plenty of options. You can use sea salt, sugar-free rainbow sprinkles, sugar-free white chocolate, or chopped nuts!
